    Description

    Use a Stateflow.Unit object to specify the unit of measurement for an input or output data object. For more information, see Specify Units for Stateflow Data.

    Creation

    Each data object and message has its own Stateflow.Unit object. However, the object only applies for Stateflow.Data objects when the Scope property is set to "Input" or "Output". To access the Stateflow.Unit object, use the Props.Unit property for the Stateflow.Data object.
